Genesis 6 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Corruption of Mankind

Now it came^H1961 about^H1961, when^H3588 mankind^H120 began^H2490 to multiply^H7231 on the face^H6440 of the land^H127, and daughters^H1323 were born^H3205 to them,

Gen 6:2

Gen 6:2that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were [fn]beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Gen 6:3

Gen 6:3Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not [fn]remain with man forever, [fn]because he is also flesh; [fn]nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.”

Gen 6:4

Gen 6:4The [fn]Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Gen 6:5

Then the LORD^H3068 saw^H7200 that the wickedness^H7451 of mankind^H120 was great^H7227 on the earth^H776, and that every^H3605 intent^H3336 of the thoughts^H4284 of [fn]their hearts^H3820 was only^H7534 evil^H7451 continually^H3605^H3117.

Gen 6:6

Gen 6:6So the LORD was sorry that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was grieved [fn]in His heart.

Gen 6:7

Gen 6:7Then the LORD said, “I will wipe out mankind whom I have created from the face of the land; mankind, and animals as well, and crawling things, and the birds of the sky. For I am sorry that I have made them.”

Gen 6:8

Gen 6:8But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

Gen 6:9

These^H428 are the records of the generations^H8435 of Noah^H5146. Noah^H5146 was a righteous^H6662 man^H376, [fn]blameless^H8549 in his generation^H1755. Noah^H5146 walked^H1980 with God^H430.

Gen 6:10

Gen 6:10And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Gen 6:11

Now the earth^H776 was^H7843 corrupt^H7843 in the sight^H6440 of God^H430, and the earth^H776 was filled^H4390 with violence^H2555.

Gen 6:12

Gen 6:12And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for [fn]humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth.

(Heb 11:7; 1Pe 3:20 )

Gen 6:13

Then God^H430 said^H559 to Noah^H5146, “The end^H7093 of [fn]humanity^H1320 has come^H935 before^H6440 Me; for the earth^H776 is filled^H4390 with violence^H2555 because^H4480^H6440 of [fn]people; and behold^H2009, I am about to destroy^H7843 them with the earth^H776.

Gen 6:14

Gen 6:14“Make for yourself an ark of [fn]gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and [fn]cover it inside and out with pitch.

Gen 6:15

Gen 6:15“This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be [fn]three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

Gen 6:16

Gen 6:16“You shall make a [fn]window for the ark, and finish it to a [fn]cubit from [fn]the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

Gen 6:17

Gen 6:17“Now behold, I Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.

Gen 6:18

Gen 6:18“But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

Gen 6:19

Gen 6:19“And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

Gen 6:20

Gen 6:20“Of the birds according to their kind, and of the animals according to their kind, of every crawling thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.

Gen 6:21

Gen 6:21“As for you, take for yourself some of every food that is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and them.”

Gen 6:22

Gen 6:22So Noah did these things; according to everything that God had commanded him, so he did.
